WOMEN'S STUDIO WORKSHOP - ARTIST IN RESIDENCE - USA 2016


Dal 18 gennaio è iniziata la mia residenza d'artista in America al Women's Studio Workshop, nello stato di New York. Sono stata invitata a stare qui per cinque settimane, lavorando nello studio di incisione e insegnando questa tecnica ai bambini nell'ambito del progetto Art-in-Education Program, che porta l'arte e gli artisti nelle scuole locali.

Women's Studio Workshop è stato fondato nel 1974 da Ann Kalmbach, Tatana Kellner, Anita Wetzel e Barbara Leoff Burge. La sua missione è di offrire uno spazio ed opportunità professionali ad artiste donne, dando voce alla loro visione artistica. Contemporaneamente è attivo per promuovere programmi che crescano il coinvolgimento, la coscienza ed il supporto del pubblico verso le arti visive.
